Operation Round Up donations help fund Lunch Box Fever program

Eight years ago, Lunch Box Fever began as an idea by college student Emily Pennuto to help feed children who don’t always have reliable access to food. In 2014, RiverWorks Community Development in Rockford adopted the program, and recently used donations from Operation Round Up (ORU) to help feed those children.

RiverWorks received a $5,000 grant from ORU funded by donations from Wright-Hennepin members who allow their electric bill to be rounded up to the nearest dollar.
